The Intel systems will be used by students and teachers for IT training in
the classroom. They will be running
Mandriva
Linux and come with 2GB of internal Flash storage and Wi-Fi mobile
technology.
"We are delighted to participate in this project along with our partners, and
to help bring Mandriva Linux and open source applications to Nigeria," said
David Barth, chief technology officer and vice president of Mandriva's Consumer
Business unit.
The announcement comes at a bad time for the
OLPC
project, following reports in the press that the planned $100 purchase price
has now doubled. It is particularly galling as Nigeria was given OLPCs for
testing purposes.
The OLPC group has been in conflict with Intel over its competing platform,
and has accused the chip giant of trying to derail the project. But the two have
recently been
reconciled.
